Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi visited Srinagar on Friday to review the security situation in the Union Territory.

During his visit, General Dwiedi was briefed by the 15 Corps Commander on the prevailing security scenario. He also held discussions with senior army commanders stationed in the Kashmir Valley, along with officials from other security agencies.

General Dwivedi was briefed on the steps being taken by the Indian Army to thwart terrorists, as well as on the Pakistan Army’s attempts to violate the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC).

Earlier in the day, Pakistan Army troops opened fire at multiple locations along the LoC, prompting immediate retaliation from the Indian Army, officials said.

“Small arms fire was initiated by the Pakistan Army at several locations along the Line of Control. It was effectively responded to by the Indian Army. No casualties have been reported,” Army officials said.
